Antiquity of the Vedic Civilization- the Great Deluge

Antiquity of Vedic culture in the great flood: A couple of things or events occurs, that is embedded in the memory of a person but of the entire race or people, then that information is passed from one generation to another, becoming a legend. One such event was the great flood that took root in the minds of humanity on a large scale, as it appears in several legends not only in India but also from around the world. The legend of the flood is a memory of humanity as it is in the legends of many tribes and civilizations past and present, of the Celts in northern India and are mentioned in the Old Testament. The mention of the great flood again in the Vedas I call this a global catastrophe due to the geographical distribution of this legend. To appear in the legends of many cultures and tribes, this disaster must have been massive. So great that people from all regions of the world has been affected significantly, to find mentioned in their legends. A massive global disaster does not occur in 4500 years before present. Myths and legends surrounding the great flood, huge disasters worldwide, over seems to be a fact and not fiction. The oldest writing of flooding comes from the Sumerian civilization some BC 4 until 3 mil. In the Sumerian city of Nippur (located some 200 kilometers south of Baghdad on the Euphrates). There is an archaeological excavation carried a slab of clay and this clay tablet too just had a very religious man named Zisudra. He was appointed by the Almighty and what they learned to build a big ship and save mankind from an impending disaster. According to the tablet, the gods were angry with the human race and its misdeeds and concluded that such an act of cleaning to do. The good and pious people must be free from the trauma of such an act and therefore Zisudra was chosen by the gods to save humanity. Zisudra had a vision that as a catastrophic flood is coming, and must make a great ship and carry the seeds of future civilization, flora and fauna so he could oversee the restoration of Eden again. In the Epic of Gilgamesh, the legend of the flood is no different from the Sumerian legend. Utnapishtim, the only man to survive the flood sent by the gods, had lived in the city of Shurrupak, where he was the god Ea. The city and the old gods and the goddess Ishtar caused the disorders among men and gods could not sleep for the noise. Then Enlil, god of earth, wind and air, said "Let us water for the world and drown us all." The gods agreed, but EA has warned of impending disaster in a Utnpishtim dream and told him to build a boat, and take into account two of every creature. For seven nights the storm raged, until everyone was covered with water. Finally, the boat ran aground on the summit of Mount Nisir. To check the water level, Utnapishtim released a dove then a swallow, then a crow. When the raven did not return, Utnapishtim knew he had found a resting place and down the waters. In gratitude, he lit a fire to make a sacrifice to the gods. Enlil was furious when he smelled smoke, but the wise Ea and Enlil interceded immortal Utnapishtim and his wife, who are the ancestors of mankind. The legend of the flood is so similar to the Greeks. It's like this —- From his throne on Olympus high, Zeus despised children of men, and saw that everybody who follow their passions, and do not care a right or law. And never, that their hearts waxed Grosser in their wickedness, they are designed for new rituals to appease the wrath of the gods, until the land was filled with blood. Far away in the hidden valleys of the son of the mountains of Arcadia celebrated and talked Lykaon proud of words against the majesty of Zeus, and Zeus himself came down from his throne to see their progress and their actions. Zeus returned home on Olympus, and gave the speech that the flood water should be thrown on the ground that the son of man could die for their great wickedness. So he got up in the west wind power, rain and black clouds darkened the entire sky, as the northerly winds that led to the mists and vapors were trapped in their homes in jail. On the hill and valley began the incessant rain, and rivers, separated from his course, rushed to the plain and the entire mountain. From her home in the mountains of Phtia, Deucalion looked at the sky in anger, and when he saw the rising water in the valleys, called Pyrrha, his wife and said: "The time has come where my father, the wise Prometheus me warned. Get ready, he built the ark, and place it in everything we may need food and water flooded the land. "He hastened to Pyrrha all ready and waiting for the floodwaters rose to the mountains Phthia Runaway and the ark of Deucalion. The fish that swim among the forests of gnarled old elm tree between the branches of gnarled oak trees, while in the face of the waters were thrown the bodies of men, Deucalion and saw the faces of the dead warriors Stalwart, girls and girls, as up and down in big waves. The Chaldean flood myth is very close to the Old Testament. In this legend, even the size of the huge ship was revealed. The myth is as follows —- After the death of Ardatis, her sari Xisuthrus Nixon reigned eighteen years. In his time happened a great flood, whose story is described as follows: the god Cronus appeared to him in a vision, and warned that from the fifteenth day of the month Desius have a flood, by which the Humanity would be destroyed. Therefore, he ordered write a story from the beginning, procedure, and the celebration of all things and bury it in the City of the Sun at Sippar: to build and ship and take it with your friends and relations, and proceed to board everything necessary to sustain life, with all animals, birds and quadrupeds, and trust without fear of the abyss. Having asked the deity, as he left, he replied: "To the gods" in which he offered a prayer for the good of humanity. Then obeyed the divine warning, and built a vessel five stadia long and two wide. Ito put everything he had prepared, and last of all converged in what his wife, his children and friends. After the flood had been upon the earth, and was transferred in time, sent Xisuthrus birds of the boat, which finding no food or place after which they could rest their feet, turned to him. After an interval of few days, he sent a second time and returned with their feet tinged with mud. It was a test for the third time with these birds, but returned to him no more: from where it was determined that the surface of the earth had appeared above the waters. Therefore made an opening in the vessel, and on looking found stranded on the mountainside, which came out immediately with his wife, daughter and the pilot. Xisuthrus then paid his adoration of the earth, and built an altar, offered sacrifices to the gods. The effort of speaking of all these legends of floods in this article has only one reason and that is to impress upon my readers the striking similarities of these legends, though these legends come from different geographical regions. The legend of Noah's Ark in the Old Testament is not different from all the legends discussed above. In India we have two legends of floods The first concerns a pious king named Manu. This story appears in bhraman satapata. L HYPERLINK "l toHYPERLINK Once long ago, a pious king, Manu was washing. When he reached the pitcher of water for washing hands, pulled a small fish. The fish told him: "If you care for me and protect me until I grow, I will save some terrible things to come. "Manu has asked the fish," What do you mean? What terrible things? "The fish told Manu that he would soon be a great flood that destroyed every human being on earth. Manu asked Fish to put in a clay pot for safety, and Manu met. As the fish grew, Manu kept putting it in a series of large clay pots until the fish was fully developed and can be placed safely in the sea Soon, the fish became Ghash, one of the fish is more important in the world. Fish Manu commissioned to build a big ship, like the flood was a few months later. As the rainy season began, Manu tied a rope to form his boat Ghash, who safely guided the water rose. The water was so strong that the whole earth was covered. As the waters subsided, Manu travel Ghash of a mountain. The second legend tells of a pious man, Satyabrata. (The name is the one who always tells the truth). centuries after the creation of the world, Brahma decided to destroy the flood, because of the wickedness of the people. He lived at this time a pious man called Satyavrata, and as Lord of the universe as this pious man, and want to preserve the sea of destruction that arise because of the depravity of the times, appeared before him in the form of Vishnu and said that seven days from now, the world will sink in a sea of death, but amid the waves of destruction, a large ship, sent by me to your use, are standing before you. After taking all the herbs, the variety of foods, along with seven saints, surrounded by pairs of all raw animal, you fix it with a great sea serpent in my horn, because I want to be around you, making the ship with you and your assistance. I will stay in the ocean, O chief of men, until one night of Brahma is completely finished. You know my true size so aptly called the Supreme Deity, by name, all matters will be their response, and spirit in abundance instructions. The common factor in this legend, from Sumer to India and Europe is baffling. It Zisudra, Utnaphistim Zeus Xisusthrus (Note the phonetic similarity with that of Zisudra), Manu, and Satyabrata, the same person? or different persons of the same civilization, who escaped the flood and began a new civilization where they never saw land and hence the name of the person who has changed, but the story remains the same. Did the flood actually, if so what is the magnitude of this flood, and when it happened? All these are questions that must be explored. The myth of the great flood is not limited to a few mentioned in this document, in fact, there are many, many others. They can be classified as follows: • 59 in the flood legends of the Indians of North America • 46 Central and South America flood Indian legends legends • 31 floods in Europe • 17 Middle East and Africa legends • 23 flood flood legends • 37 Asia Pacific Islands and Australia against the flood legends Aboriginal All these myths have some things in common: HYPERLINK Floods in the world of events that destroy man and animalsThere was a ship, a big ship, dimensions are also mentioned in the myth. a relic survivedFinally few people based on a mountainBirds to be released and returningBirds not be released and return with something that now will try to give my readers some evidence so devastating flood that place and time possible. Testing The first and most convincing is the fact that this myth is spread throughout the culture, but despite a balanced presentation of the varied geographical and cultural dogmas, the similarities are by no means uniform. There was an article in the Sunday Times dated 29 9 .. 99 which I quoted verbatim here for my readers. "There was strong evidence that a great flood as they say in the history of the Old Testament, Noah's Ark was found well below the Black Sea by an American expedition. Surveyors-submarine, led by Robert Ballard, famous oceanographer who found the Titanic and other shipwrecks of the 20th century, discovered an ancient coastline at a depth of 450 m. "I'm not sure if Noah's flood or not Noah's flood, but I do not buy that there was a flood," said David Mindell, one of the inspectors. Ballard's team is working on a theory about the biblical flood of old filed by two marine geologists from Columbia University in New York, William Ryan and Walter Pittman, in his new book, Noah's flood, revised Scribe No. 71, page 3. As Dr. Ballard said: "Over the last great glaciers advanced in the ice age in the surface world. That sea level dropped 400 feet. Then, 12,000 years until the end of the Ice Age, glaciers began to retreat. With its low sea level, the eastern Mediterranean was cut from the Black Sea, so that when the oceans began to grow, the Black Sea did not. Dr. Ballard continued: "Around 7600 years ago, guess what happens? The Mediterranean, passing through a natural dam in the Bosporus and the catastrophic flooding of the land surface. People living there are 400 feet below sea level and difficulty. They face a flood equal to 10,000 Niagara Falls. "This flood was in a much larger scale than that described in Genesis, which lasted 40 days and 40 nights, covering all life on Earth within 24 feet of water other than Noah, his family and peer animals transported to safety in the ark. In the new theory, it is estimated that every day for two ten cubic miles of ocean water across the Bosphorus, the expansion of the canal that runs through what was then a freshwater lake, the level increased six inches per day. The salt water inlet, denser than fresh water it displaced, plunged into the lake bed, making it a sea where the depth of support no life. This gray area is known as inert, an abyss that is anoxic, meaning that the trapped water could not circulate and has lost its oxygen, "Such conditions are found nowhere else in the world," said Dr. Ballard . The theory assumes that in this dead zone wooden ships is kept intact, perhaps even with their sails to the Bronze Age, and hoping that Dr. Ballard and his team. Explorers convinced that there are many ships May is at the bottom, because the Black Sea was an important trade route. Dr. Ballard has participated in over 120 expeditions at sea. He found two Phoenician ships more than 3000 years. Fredrik Hiebert of the University of Pennsylvania, chief archaeologist of the team, said the discovery represents the first concrete evidence of the occupation of the Black Sea coast before the flood. "This is a great discovery that will begin to rewrite the history of culture in this key area between Europe, Asia and the ancient Middle East," said Hiebert. The remains of human occupation have been found in more than 300 feet of water about 12 miles off the coast of Turkey. "According to Professor mass of all the myths of the flood, is interested in the Indian myth, where, in particular, the myth describes an alignment of the five bright planets has happened only once in 5,000 years. So, we started to get a time as possible in the great flood. It is from 7500BC to 5000BC. In 2004, during a conference of geologists, astronomers and archaeologists, Massé supplied evidence of an impact on the world devastated in the middle of the Indian Ocean. Ted Bryant, a specialist in geomorphology at the University of Wollongong, New South Wales, Australia, was intrigued and asked for help from Dallas Abbott, an assistant professor in the Center of Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University. In 2005 he formed the Holocene Impact Working Group (with reference to geological period covering the last 11,000 years) to investigate the geological signature of a mega-tsunami. If a wave 600 feet high from the devastation of the coast, allow a pile of rubble behind. In the case of waves generated by asteroid impacts, the debris left in its wake is assumed to grow gigantic sand wedge-shaped structures called chevrons, that are sometimes full of deep ocean microfossils dredged by the tsunami. When Abbott began the search for satellite imagery in Google Earth, which has seen dozens of rafters along the coast and the interior of Africa and Asia. The shape and size of these quotes suggest that they may have been formed by waves from the impact of a comet strike in the deep ocean off Madagascar. The gallons in Madagascar associated with the crater full of microfossils have been merged into the ocean. There is no explanation for its presence other than a cosmic impact, "she said. "People have to start taking this theory much more seriously. The next step is to make carbon-14 dating of fossils to see if they really are 5000 years. Meanwhile, Bryant argued that Chevron found (pdf) 4 miles inland from the coast of Madagascar, have been formed by a wave that traveled 25 miles from the coast, moving almost parallel to the coast. "Neither erosion nor any terrestrial process could cause these formations. The largest landslide ever recorded occurred at sea 7200 years ago off the coast of Norway, and there was a tsunami, but was far from abandoning the tanks at 200 meters, "said M. Bryant. The great flood was a highly unusual and strange. Because of the magnitude of destruction, have left an indelible and permanent in the minds of the survivors. This story has been told over and over again from generation to generation. And it is. What would cause an event in his memory of the world's population. This event should be great. It is now timely to mention Plato's work here in this stadium - Timaeus and Critias. Here he describes Plato about a paradise called Atlantis, which suddenly disappeared from the face of the earth. He described about an intelligent civilization living in this paradise of beauty. Both accounts, Timaeus and Critias, describing: a decision pre-flood civilization. God to destroy mankind because of their wickedness. The destruction of civilization by a great flood. The suddenness of the catastrophe. The magnitude of destruction that affects the entire planet. According to Plato, the island of Atlantis in the distant cultures of the Mediterranean have been completely destroyed in a day and a night of violent earthquakes and floods. They disappeared in the depths of the seas. And, according to Plato, the great flood occurred about 11,400 years. (The account records with the events 9000 years before the time of Plato's dialogues. Plato were written around 360 BC) This would make the pre-flood civilization civilization Ice Age. A disaster of global proportions can only be done when there is an impact of a comet or an asteroid. Impact on the atmosphere, commonly called a bolide airburst or another type of impact. Tunguska Impact is a strong example of a meteor event. Another type of impact is an impact of glacial ice age. Such an impact could produce the results shown in the biblical description of the flood. A comet / asteroid in a large mass of glaciers could cause the following effects: the release of large amounts of heat. Produce tremors. trapped superheated steam to exert force to lift and move a huge mass of ice. Divide ice sheets. expulsion of water vapor and ice in the upper atmosphere. News on the potential energy stored. Produce a partial melting of glaciers. Producing an almost immediate rise in sea level. Produce large rains. Driving slowly deep oceanic crust. slowly increase the upper continental crust. Production of volcanoes and lava flows. The impact of a comet / asteroid (~ 2 miles in diameter) with an Ice Age ice sheet would produce the following chain of events: The impactor penetrates through miles of ice thick as a baseball. Beneath the surface, the impact of news on the energy of a million nuclear bombs. A gas bubble trapped superheated steam. The steam causes a general rise in the ice of the glacier. The ice sheet rises like a steam boiler to explode. The gas bubble exerts enormous pressure on the ice flow. The impact causes the release of potential energy locked in the ice flow to millions of tonnes to be released and begins to move the fluid bed friction in the oceans. Some of the escaping steam like a geyser or volcano eruption. The sheet of ice fractures, open fission steam to escape. Boiling water and steam is greasing the boundary layer on the surface of ice flow. The explosion of the launch of large masses of ice fragments in the air with great force. Ice and water running off the continents cause an immediate increase in sea level, in accordance with the theory of displacement. The superheated steam Issued falls to Earth, causing violent storms. heavy rains for several days and weeks. the atmosphere warms. Large earthquakes in combination with a rebound of the crust of the movements of large ice sheets exert significant pressure on plate tectonics. The tension was relieved by the eruption of volcanoes and lava flows in the world. Seismic submarine methane hydrates frozen screen beds. The heat generated at impact and heat from undersea volcanoes and lava flows to raise the temperature of the oceans and melting of methane hydrate exposed. Released methane bubbles to the surface, where time is illuminated by lightning, which also increases the atmospheric temperature. The burning of large releases of methane from carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Ultimately, the global temperature increase significantly, breaking the back of the ice age. This gives you a kick and land sinks into the cycle of destruction to the earth and its momentum slowed considerably. Then the climate stabilizes again. The oceans, the seats, rivers begin their corrective actions. In India, there is also strong evidence of this global disaster. Wreckage say Mahabharat Dwarka. For centuries, local fishermen on the coast of Mahabalipuram in India estimated that a great flood consumed a city of more than 10,000 years in one day. This story was recorded by British explorer J. Goldingham, who visited the region in 1798. Legend has it that six temples were submerged under water, with the seventh temple still standing on the shore. Now author Graham Hancock believes it has found. "I have long regarded Mahabalipuram, because of its flood myths and fishermen's comments as very probable that the place where discoveries of underwater structures could be done, and I proposed a diving expedition should carried out at this time, "says Hancock. In April he made a diving expedition in the region in collaboration with British society and the scientific exploration of India's National Institute of Oceanography. The SES said: "A joint expedition of 25 divers from the Scientific Exploration Society and India, the National Institute of Oceanography, led by Monty Halls and accompanied by Graham Hancock, have discovered a large area with a series of structures that show clearly the attributes of the man of deep (16-23 feet) off the coast of Mahabalipuram in Tamil Nadu. The scale of the submerged ruins, covering several square miles and at distances up to a mile from the coast is a marine archaeological discovery as spectacular as the ruined cities submerged off the coast of Alexandria in Egypt. "The NIO said:" A team of underwater archaeologists from the National Institute of Oceanography NIO have found evidence of submerged structures off Mahabalipuram and established the first evidence of the popular belief that the temple on the coast of Mahabalipuram is the remnant of the total number of seven temples built these were immersed in succession. The discovery was made during an underwater exploration with the Joint Scientific Exploration Society, UK "between 17,000 years and 7000 years ago, at the end of the last Ice Age, terrible things happened to our lived world ancestors, "Hancock said." ice sheets in northern Europe and Great North American cast, great floods devastated the earth, the sea level has risen by more than (325 feet) and about (15 million square miles) of formerly habitable lands were swallowed by the waves. "In diving deeper explorations, the ancient underwater structures have also been detected from space. Space images from NASA satellites reveal a mysterious ancient bridge in the Palk Strait between India and Sri Lanka. The bridge was called Adam's Bridge and was created from a chain of shoals, about 18 miles long. This single curve shows that it is of human origin. Archaeological studies reveal that the earliest human inhabitants in Sri Lanka reached the island around 1,750,000 years ago and the bridge is about the same age. This is consistent with a legend called Ramayana, which dates back over 1,700,000 years. In this epic, a bridge was built between Rameshwaram (India) and the coast of Sri Lanka under the guidance of God as Rama. This also gives us an idea of the antiquity of Vedic civilization. If Ramayana is reality, then the Vedic civilization is the ice before civilization. At the end of this article, I can only say that the myth of universal man can be the first example of reporting disasters.
